We started sewing classes Monday morning! What a great group of women.
We had a total of 18 women attending, 10 in the morning and 8 in the afternoon. Lots
of young mothers. We had many return from last year and a few new ones. Norma and
her mother Elita came to classes for the first time. Also their first time using a machine.
Dividing into two classes a day helped with the use of sewing machines and personal attention.
We started Monday's class with cutting out patterns for the uniform shirts. That went well
and we began to put the pieces together on Tuesday. Today we worked on the hardest part!!
SLEEVES..........................NOT FUN AT ALL!!!!! We seemed to get through that part and have
moved on to collars and facing. TOMORROW......................buttons and button holes. I think I
might be absent???? I think they will have to have scrap fabric and PRACTICE!!!
Monday evening at the mission house.
Monday evening we had to clean out the totes from a day of sewing. I was happy to
have two really good helpers. D'Andra and Era and of course Ms. Juanita. Mark has
been around to help Joe out too.
Thursday we are will wrap up the sewing in Los Tambos and spend the evening
with the Unitedville embroidery group. They are coming by the mission house at 5:30 for ice cream
and embroidery.
Friday we will be going to Buena Vista to work with a new group of women. Excited
to see how all of this works out. We will let you know on Friday night. We are taking
some machines, a sewing project and an interpreter.
Joe has been busy working on the quilt racks and numerous other projects
to keep him out of trouble.
